DirecTV ProScan DSS Receiver User Manual

First Things First

Connecting a Compatible
D-VHS VCR

The DSS

receiver can send a digital signal to a compatible D-VHS

VCR. The D-VHS VCR can then record and playback recordings
through the DSS

receiver. If you have a D-VHS VCR you must

connect both devices so they can send and receive digital signals.

1) Connect a digital audio/video (DAV) cable as shown.

2) Connect RCA type audio/video cables as shown.

The D-VHS VCR and DSS

receiver communicate through the DAV

cable. It is not necessary to connect the VCR controller or enter the
VCR type described earlier in this section.

Interactive Setup

If you self-installed your satellite dish antenna, you may have already
used the interactive setup to find the dish pointing coordinates, acquire
and fine-tune the signal, and run a system test.

If you need to run the interactive setup again, select

Options from the

Main menu, then select

Interactive Setup.

If you just want to check your dish pointing coordinates, or run the
signal strength meter, select Dish Pointing from the Main menu.
